GUI update to more modern look #29

Open emk2203 opened 9 years ago

emk2203 commented 9 years ago

What would be the best way to give the GUI an overhaul to a more modern look?

At the moment, while the functionality is very good, it looks very dated. I would do it myself, but I don't know where to start (I am no web designer). If you can point out which pages to change, I could try and make a different design. Maybe it could even be a choice during installation.

BTW: Changes don't stick for my installation. It always stays the same color scheme.

What browser are you using? color scheme works for me, do you have cookies enabled?

res/style.php would be the main file to modify for the UI appearance res/inc would contain most of the HTML parts, there are a few in index.php and a few parts made via JS in main.js

In what way does it seem dated? I put a lot of work into the CSS to make it not look ancient (definably not written like IE6 would want it to do the same thing)

I am using chrome, cookies enabled. The first refresh or page change throws me back to the default.

The dated appearance for me is the default color, and the rounded edges mainly. I admit that my inability to change the theme amplifies the issue. Best counterexample for me would be github: no rounded edges (see google material look, windows 10 etc.), light, non-distracting colors. I have sysinfo https://gist.github.com/jvhaarst/4388108 running as well, which is also a good example for a more modern look.

So you want square corners? you do know squares have been uncool since before i was born, lol you could just remove every border-radius property from style.css or just add *{border-radius:0!important;} at the end of the file i have no issue with themes when using chrome is your install upto date? (1.5-16 is current) try clearing cache/cookies

emk2203 commented 9 years ago

squares are back in style again ;-) Install is uptodate, maybe clearing cookies does it. But I changed the ini file now on the server, so all is well. Thanks for a really helpful project!

unless you had cache from a very old version still in use i don't see how you could have a issue with the theme manger, either via the ini or the ui, a theme set via the UI overrides a ini change with the theme your color theme is inserted into the URL of the style in the header http://imgur.com/ID3bhQg.png with the theme made into the url you cant cache a theme that is not in use
